Let’s fly away from this endless darkness! Hold my hand. When I first met you, I remembered a place that I held dear when I was a child. Won’t you dance with me? On a winding road of light and shadow, even now, are you lost on him? There were just a few times where it seemed like I wanted to turn back, But holding on to love, courage, and pride, I’ll fight on! Bit by bit, you’re charming my heart, A piece of the hopes of this world. Surely, everyone wants to attain eternity. Even though I pretend I don’t care at all, Look, I’m in love with you! Let’s fly away from this endless darkness! Hold your hand. I like you whether you look angry, or you’re tired, But I wonder if it’s all right to live in such a hurry all the time. As for me...I’m tossed about by your casual behavior in the seaside blue. But evevn so, are you lost on him? I had something more that I wanted to ask, but Our talk is interrupted by the sound of cars, and wafts into the street. Bit by bit, you’re charming my heart, And though it’s strange, even to me, I want to call you right away and tell you there’s something there! Even though I pretend I feel nothing at all, In the end, I’ve only had eyes for you. Let’s fly away toward the sea! Hold my hand.

Hey everybody, Julian here. This invisible text doesn’t have anything to do with the song itself, so as long as you’re just casually reading the lyrics on Daizenshuu EX, this doesn’t concern you. However, if you’re reading this on another site, please contact me, at jgjedi@aol.com. I put a lot of hard work into this transcription/translation, and I don’t appreciate those who would try and steal my work, claiming it as their own. So, to all of you worthless assholes out there who do that sort of thing, be aware...I’m watching.

DAN DAN 心かれれてく / DAN DAN Kokoro Hikarete ’ku / Bit by Bit, You’re Charming My Heart Dragon Ball GT Opening Theme, 10^th Anniversary Movie Ending Theme
作詞：坂井泉水　　　作曲：織田哲郎　　　編曲：葉山たけし　　歌：FIELD OF VIEW	Lyrics: Music: Arrangement: Performance:	Izumi Sakai Tetsurô Oda Takeshi Hayama FIELD OF VIEW
	English Translation: Julian Grybowski
Translator’s Note: The lyrics to this song were written by ZARD lead singer Izumi Sakai (the band contributed the second ending theme to GT, “Don’t You See!”). The version used as the opening theme of Dragon Ball GT and the ending theme of the 10^th Anniversary Movie, however, is performed by the band FIELD OF VIEW. The one by the band that wrote it came out after FIELD OF VIEW’s version, making it a sort of “self-cover.”
